FTZ Management: ABI - Concurrences Summary

Foreign Trade Zone operators are reminded to have a valid operator’s bond (Type 4) on file in ACE. Also, operators will want to ensure that the correct Importer of Record (IOR) number is used on the admission transmission. If a valid Type 4 bond is not on file in ACE for the operator’s IOR Number submitted, CBP will reject the admission.
If the operator and applicant for admission are different, please contact IntegrationPoint@ThomsonReuters.com. Support will be able to confirm or assist with the necessary configuration.

Concurrences Summary

The
Concurrences Summary
screen provides a list of concurrences transmitted to CBP and concurrences returned by CBP. After a message (PTT, Arrival of Goods, Manifest Concurrence, Operator Concurrence) is sent to CBP, its record status will change to TRANSMITTING. Once the transmission is received by CBP, the status will update to reflect the outcome of the transmission.
